His movements leave no doubt in my mind he knew full well we would take him out
at the first opportunity.
Probably because he lived in the real world, unsullied with high faulting delusions.
Maybe he did realize he was at risk, but nevertheless I've not seen anything
to show that he met the requirements of renouncing US citizenship.

Sullied or not, stating an "intention to relinquish" is like pledging in a fund-raiser,
it only matters when the check is cashed.
